Tour Itinerary

Please refer to the tour itinerary below. This itinerary comprises the best winter tour activities in Mongolia, which you can do with your friends, family, or even on your own.

We encourage you to tour western Mongolia's most remote villages, where China, Russia, and Kazakhstan are only a stone's throw away. We invite you to meet people who live differently from you. Their austere and rusted world has provided them with a level of freedom that not everyone can bear. Being around them changes you, as if you were living a different life.
